Pest Control in Wilmington MA, from Your Local Hometown Exterminator
Pest Control in Wilmington, MA from Your Local Hometown Exterminator
When pests show up in your Wilmington home or business, you want the problem handled by an experienced local company that understands the area. Biggins Exterminating Co. is based right here in Wilmington, Massachusetts, and has been helping local property owners deal with ants, mice, rats, termites, cockroaches, wasps, hornets, carpenter bees and other pests since 1982.
For more than 40 years, our family-owned company has provided professional pest control and exterminating services for homeowners and businesses throughout Wilmington and surrounding Massachusetts communities.
Pest problems rarely solve themselves. An occasional ant can indicate a larger colony, scratching noises can mean rodents have entered your home, and hidden wood-destroying insects can remain unnoticed until damage becomes more extensive.
Our job is to identify what pest you are dealing with, where the activity is coming from and what treatment makes sense for your property.

Wilmington’s Local Pest Control Company Since 1982
Biggins isn’t a national franchise serving Wilmington from somewhere else. Wilmington is our home.
Steve Biggins Sr. founded Biggins Exterminating in Wilmington in 1982 with a commitment to reliable service, honest communication and strong family values. Today, those same principles continue to guide the company.
Learn more about the history and values behind Biggins Exterminating Co. and why Wilmington-area homeowners have trusted our family for more than four decades.
Our local experience means we understand the types of pest problems commonly found in Massachusetts homes. Seasonal temperature changes, wooded property lines, mature landscaping, moisture, garages, basements, attics and small exterior openings can all contribute to pest activity.
Whether you’ve discovered carpenter ants around your home, mice in the attic, termites near the foundation or a wasp nest outside, Biggins can evaluate the situation and recommend an appropriate solution.
Residential Pest Control in Wilmington MA
Your home provides many of the things pests are looking for: shelter, warmth, moisture and access to food.
Unfortunately, insects and rodents don’t need a front door to get inside.
Small openings around foundations, siding, utility lines, garage doors, windows, vents and rooflines can provide access to areas of your home that are difficult to see.
Biggins provides professional residential pest control in Wilmington, MA for homeowners experiencing occasional pest activity as well as established infestations.
Our approach may include evaluating pest activity, locating possible nesting areas, identifying entry points and looking for property conditions that may be contributing to the infestation.
The goal isn’t simply to eliminate the insect or rodent you happen to see. Effective pest management starts by understanding why the pest is there and where the problem is coming from.
Common Pest Problems We Treat in Wilmington MA
Wilmington homeowners can encounter different pests throughout the year. Each pest behaves differently, which is why proper identification is an important first step.
Biggins provides pest control for carpenter ants, house ants, mice, rats, termites, cockroaches, powderpost beetles, carpenter bees, wasps, hornets, cicada killers, fleas and other common Massachusetts pests.
Carpenter Ant Control in Wilmington MA
Carpenter ants are one of the more concerning ant species found around Massachusetts homes because they excavate wood to create nesting galleries.
Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood for food. Instead, they hollow out areas of wood to establish nests. Damp, water-damaged or deteriorating wood can be particularly attractive to them.
Potential activity can occur around window frames, door frames, rooflines, decks, porches, wall voids, plumbing areas and damaged structural wood.
Signs can include large black ants, winged ants, repeated ant activity or sawdust-like material known as frass.
Biggins has decades of experience providing professional carpenter ant pest control in Wilmington and neighboring communities.
If large ants repeatedly appear inside your Wilmington home, simply spraying the visible ants may not solve the underlying problem. The nest or satellite colony may be located somewhere you can’t see.
House Ant Exterminator in Wilmington MA
Tiny ants appearing around countertops, sinks, cabinets, bathrooms or pet-food areas can quickly become frustrating.
House ants frequently enter homes looking for water and food. Once reliable food sources or nesting areas are established, eliminating individual ants may not eliminate the colony.
Professional house ant pest control starts with identifying the type of ant and understanding where the activity is coming from.
If ants continue returning to the same areas of your Wilmington home, it may be time to have the infestation professionally evaluated.
Mice and Rodent Control in Wilmington MA
Few sounds get a homeowner’s attention faster than scratching inside a ceiling or wall.
Mice often become more noticeable as Massachusetts temperatures fall and rodents begin looking for protected areas with warmth, food and water.
Once inside, mice may occupy attics, basements, garages, wall voids, crawl spaces, utility areas and spaces around kitchens.
Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds, nesting materials, damaged food packaging and disturbed insulation.
Biggins provides professional mice pest control designed to address existing rodent activity while also identifying areas where mice may be entering the property.
A very small exterior opening can be enough for a mouse to gain access.
Rat Control in Wilmington
Rat infestations require a strategy appropriate to the animal’s behavior, travel patterns, entry points and nesting locations.
If you’ve seen rats, found larger droppings or noticed suspected rat activity around your Wilmington property, Biggins also provides professional rat pest control.
Addressing rodent activity early can help prevent a relatively small problem from becoming more established.
Termite Control in Wilmington MA
Termites present a different challenge because they can remain hidden for extended periods.
Much of their activity occurs underground, inside structural materials or in areas homeowners rarely inspect.
Possible signs include mud tubes near foundations, discarded wings, termite swarmers and damaged or hollow-sounding wood.
Because carpenter ants and termites can both be associated with wood damage, correct identification is especially important.
Biggins provides professional termite pest control and termite treatments for Wilmington homeowners.
If you’ve discovered evidence that could indicate termites, having the property evaluated early is preferable to waiting for additional signs of damage.
Cockroach Pest Control in Wilmington MA
Cockroaches can be particularly difficult household pests because they hide in cracks, cabinets, utility areas and spaces near plumbing.
Food, moisture and shelter can all contribute to an infestation.
Seeing a cockroach doesn’t necessarily tell you how much activity is occurring elsewhere in the building.
Biggins provides professional cockroach pest control for Wilmington homes and businesses experiencing recurring cockroach activity.
Wasp and Hornet Control in Wilmington MA
Warmer weather means more outdoor activity—and more stinging insects.
Wasps and hornets may build nests near decks, patios, rooflines, eaves, sheds, garages, porches, trees, shrubs and exterior wall openings.
Attempting to knock down, spray or disturb an active nest can cause defensive behavior and increase the possibility of stings.
Biggins provides professional wasp pest control and nest removal as well as hornet pest control for Wilmington properties.
When an active nest is close to an entrance, deck, children’s play area or another heavily traveled location, avoid disturbing it and contact a professional.
Carpenter Bee Control in Wilmington MA
Carpenter bees commonly create round openings in exposed wood and then tunnel inside to establish nesting areas.
Potential nesting locations include deck railings, fascia, trim, porches, fences, wood siding, pergolas and sheds.
Repeated activity around the same wooden surfaces can contribute to additional deterioration.
If you’re seeing large bees hovering around exterior wood or finding round holes in wooden surfaces, learn more about professional carpenter bee pest control from Biggins.
Commercial Pest Control in Wilmington MA
Pest control is just as important for Wilmington businesses as it is for homeowners.
Rodents and insects can affect employee areas, customer spaces, storage facilities, inventory and the overall condition of a commercial property.
Biggins provides commercial pest control in Wilmington, MA for businesses and commercial property owners.
Depending on the facility and pest involved, service may include inspecting areas where activity has been reported, locating possible entry points, treating active infestations and identifying conditions that could contribute to recurring pest problems.
Addressing commercial pest activity early can help prevent an isolated problem from spreading to additional areas of the building.
Call 978-658-5120 to discuss pest control for your Wilmington business or commercial property.
Wilmington Pest Problems Change with the Seasons
Spring: Ants, Termites and Carpenter Bees
Rising temperatures bring increased insect activity.
Wilmington homeowners may begin seeing carpenter ants, house ants, termite swarmers, carpenter bees and other emerging insects.
Pay particular attention to unexplained activity around windows, foundations, exterior wood and moisture-prone areas.
Summer: Wasps, Hornets and Outdoor Pests
Summer pushes pest activity into yards, decks, landscaping and other outdoor living areas.
Wasps and hornets establish and expand nests while ants and carpenter bees remain active.
Repeated flight activity around a particular opening or exterior area can indicate an established nest.
Fall: Rodents Look for Shelter
As nighttime temperatures begin falling, mice and rats seek protected spaces.
Garages, basements, attics and exterior openings become particularly important areas to inspect.
Identifying potential entry points before colder weather arrives can help reduce opportunities for rodents to enter.
Winter: Indoor Pest Activity Can Continue
Once rodents, cockroaches or other pests have established themselves inside a heated building, cold outdoor temperatures won’t necessarily eliminate them.
Droppings, scratching noises or recurring insect activity during winter should not be ignored.
What Happens When You Call Biggins Exterminating?
Identify the Pest
Correct identification helps determine the appropriate treatment.
A carpenter ant infestation requires a different approach from mice, termites, cockroaches or stinging insects.
Evaluate the Activity
We evaluate where activity is occurring and look for signs that can help determine where pests may be living or entering.
Recommend the Appropriate Treatment
The pest involved, property conditions and extent of the activity all help determine the recommended approach.
Address Conditions Contributing to the Problem
Depending on the situation, this can include identifying potential rodent entry points, moisture problems, damaged wood or other conditions contributing to pest activity.
Effective pest management goes beyond dealing with the pest that’s visible today. The objective is to address the source of the problem and reduce opportunities for it to continue.
